Abs brake system has sprung a leak at the piston assembly input shaft seal. The life time warrantee should apply to this problem. The dealer I am working with informs me the repair parts are no longer available and are requesting diagnostic fees up front. I have confirmed 3 part numbers that are available for a dozen other chrysler vehicles to be the same physical part in those 3 and the same part for my plymouth. All reference for the plymouth part number show no longer available. They are using multiple part numbers for the same part in deceptive ways to avoid repairs.

- What is wrong
- The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
- Risk
- If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.

Abs hydraulic accuator pump failed again. Was repaired for free in 1999. I paid for the accumalotor, which fails due to the leaky brake pump. Chrysler is delaying or denying repair on lifetime warranty due to recall.

The ABS system failed three times on 4/15/08. The vehicle is a plymouth grand voyager, 1993. I almost hit a car that was turning in front of me. Then the ABS and parking brake lights lit up on the dash board. I barely made it home without hitting anything and parked my car in the garage. When I went out a few minutes later to take it to a mechanic nearby, the brake pedal dropped when I turned the key to start the car. The brakes were mushy until I got it to the mechanic. He confirmed the problem is with the ABS system and that it was covered under the recall. The byers chrysler dealership now has the car and is claiming they cannot reproduce the problem and will not replace the ABS until they can. I do not want to kill myself or anyone else with a braking system that may fail at any time.
